The main reason for celebrities in the fields of entertainment and sports is that they cannot wear glasses or contact lenses while discharging their professional duties. Can you imagine Daniel Craig as James Bond, going after the baddies or dangerously driving his sports car, in his bulky eyeglasses? Or a celebrity basketball player, dribbling the ball while being in constant fear of his contact lens falling off?

A long time sufferer of near-sightedness, Nicole Kidman never preferred to wear glasses, but was forced to start wearing them when things started getting unmanageable. After her successful laser eye surgery, this Hollywood celebrity is enjoying the absence of ugly looking glasses. This is what she has to say: “I was literally legally blind, and had a hard time managing things. Now with my perfect 20/20 vision, things are clearly looking better.”

Richard Branson, celebrated business mogul and adventurer, opted for laser eye surgery to improve his vision and was back at work very soon. Reportedly, he is delighted with his laser eye surgery and says “it had me seeing perfectly again.” A self confessed proponent of this vision correction procedure he even threw his glasses in the waste bin to make a statement that he would never need them again.

After all, why not have perfect vision? Not only is it popular, but incredibly practical and affordable.
